coding-agent-standards

coding-agent-standards is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from repowise-dev/claude-code-prompts. It costs 35 tokens per session (231 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of working standards for coding agents that create or edit software.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when implementing or modifying code to guide planning, file selection, testing, checks, and completion reports.
Why use it?
It reduces risky, unclear changes by requiring focused edits, attention to failure cases, suitable tests, and validation before delivery.

About the project

Claude Code Prompts is a collection of independently written prompt templates for building AI coding agents, covering system behavior, tool use, delegation, memory, and coordination between agents. Developers use the templates as references when designing or configuring coding assistants inspired by observed Claude Code patterns. The catalogue skills are prompt-based agent workflows from this collection.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

coding-agent-standards scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Coding Agent Standards

Purpose

Use this skill to keep code changes predictable, reviewable, and safe.

Default Behavior

  1. Clarify the requested outcome and constraints before editing.
  2. Prefer small, focused changes over broad refactors.
  3. Preserve existing behavior unless a behavior change is requested.
  4. Keep naming, structure, and style consistent with nearby code.
  5. Add or update tests when behavior changes.

Implementation Checklist

  • Confirm the smallest viable file set to edit.
  • Handle edge cases and explicit failure paths.
  • Avoid speculative abstractions and dead code.
  • Add concise comments only where intent is not obvious.
  • Run available validation steps before finalizing.

Delivery Format

When reporting completion:

  • What changed (files and intent).
  • Why it changed (problem solved or risk reduced).
  • How it was verified (tests, checks, or manual validation).
  • Remaining risks, assumptions, or follow-ups.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
